This thread makes me wonder (yet again) if, when we say we just don't like a food, what we are responding to is an allergy to whatever it is. For example, I have wondered if I have a banana allergy, they just tast & feel wrong.

DH says that cucumbers just don't agree with him, so all his cucumber slices magically translocate to my plate. Allergy? Intolerance? I have to wonder.

BTW, I'll help with any tea, onion, squash or root vegis anyone doesn't want.

Oh, and T-giving in our house has a group of Very Specific group of recipies I must fix and Cannot Be Altered! Turkey with a specific stuffing which includes a bread I make special, chorizo, various vegis & wine, brussel sprouts with garlic mustard butter, butterhorn rolls, Cranberry Chop-Chop good stuff (a mix of cranberries, onion and jalepeno) and a cranberry pound cake. Yes, this is caloric. I thank whatever is in charge of things I only have to cook this way once a year.
